IOP/VIRTUAL IOP FOR TEENS
Virtual IOP for Teens With Trauma and PTSD
Compassion Teens offers a virtual IOP and intensive outpatient program for teen trauma and PTSD, with care that meets your family where you are—at home or in our center. Our licensed clinicians help teens work through flashbacks, anxiety, irritability, and feeling “on edge,” while staying connected to school and family life. With structured groups, one-on-one support, and optional in-person sessions, we focus on safety, developing grounding skills, and rebuilding a sense of control after experiencing difficult events.
Personalized Virtual Trauma & PTSD Care for Teens
When your teen is reacting to something they went through—nightmares, jumpiness, anger, shutting down—it can be hard to know what level of help is actually right. Weekly therapy can start to feel too light, but inpatient or residential care can feel like too much. Our virtual IOP and intensive outpatient program for teen trauma and PTSD are built for that middle space—more structure, more touchpoints, and more accountability without pulling them out of school, friends, and real life. We keep it simple: small virtual groups, 1:1 support, and a clear plan so your teen isn’t just retelling the story of what happened, they’re learning how to feel safer in their own body again.
Step 1 – Tell Us Your Story
The first step toward care starts with a single conversation. Share what your teen has been experiencing—flashbacks, avoidance, irritability, trouble sleeping, big reactions to triggers—and what kind of support you’re hoping for. Our team listens without judgment and helps you sort through whether virtual IOP, in-person IOP.
Step 2 – Licensed Clinicians Who Care
Our admissions counselors then connect your teen with a licensed clinician who specializes in teen trauma and PTSD and feels like a good fit. We’ll walk you through a quick, confidential virtual assessment so we can understand what’s really going on underneath the surface and recommend the right level of care.
Step 3 – Secure Online Sessions
From there, your teen starts a customized trauma-focused care plan from the comfort of home. They’ll meet regularly in private, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions and age-appropriate groups—scheduled around school and family time—so they can work through triggers, build grounding skills, and start to feel more in control again, without putting their whole life on pause.
